Hi,
You can have compressive symptoms due to a spinal problem. For that you need a surgical management for cure.
Until then you can be prescribed non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Physiotherapy also beneficial in such case. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy weight lifting.
I suggest you consult an orthopedic surgeon for examination and further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
